Treasurer’s Report

We reviewed the Treasurer’s Report.

We agreed to change the billing address from the library P.O. box to Town Hall for the credit card and The Library Store accounts. We will ask Nora to scan and send these bills to Lisa & Joy as they arrive. Joy will review them and verify the purchases. Hopefully this will make the submission and payment of bills occur in a more timely fashion.

We will also explore options for a new credit card with a better interest rate/grace period.

We had a lengthy discussion on the process for approval of payments and how the library board and select board currently interact around purchasing and what guidance the VT Library Law provides in this area.

Director’s Report

Joy presented her director’s report for the month.

Becky made a motion to accept the consent agenda. Alex seconded it. The motion carried.

Fundraising / Grants

We received a grant of $300 from the American Library Association for enrolling to serve as an information site for individuals enrolling in government-sponsored health care.

We checked in on fundraising as we are almost at the middle of the fiscal year. We are on track in some areas and behind in others, particularly grants. This will be an area of focus for us in the coming months.

Upcoming events

Our author visit has been postponed to after the holidays. Joy will share information when it is finalized.

January meeting - VT Department of Libraries – Lara Keenan (Note time change for this meeting).

This will be our only agenda item for the meeting. If we have questions for her in advance, that would be helpful for her to plan her presentation as well.

The Board reviewed the job description and provided minor edits. Joy will ask our representative at the VT Dept. of libraries. We will review, hopefully a final copy, at our next meeting.

Joy also distributed a copy of goals that she has developed for her work at the library this year. The board suggested that she choose a few to focus on for this year and include information on progress toward those goals during her monthly DIrector’s Reports.

b. Discussion on free speech in libraries and access to information as a public service.

We discussed the changes in some historic free speech practices from print to digital format.

a. Open position – Assistant Librarian / hiring substitutes

Alex, Joy and Lisa attended a Select Board Meeting on October 2nd and discussed this item with the Select Board.

They also asked us to consider hiring substitutes to cover when Joy is unable to be present. Upon discussion tonight (10/23) it was decided to try on a trial basis of not filling the position nor hiring substitutes. We will draw from our current volunteer base to fill any hours that our director is unable to be present whether due to illness or other job duties. Michele and Becky agreed to help if needed if they are able. Lisa and Alex both indicated that they would only be available on an occasional Saturday due to work commitments.

a. Approval of Minutes: August 20, 2018

b. Treasurer’s Report - No Report

c. Director’s Report

Michelle made a motion to accept consent agenda and Becky seconded. Motion carried.

Director’s Report - Joy distributed the director’s report. We had a comparably high number of patrons during the month of July, as well as a well-attended summer program. The pass for the state parks has been taken out almost every week all summer long. Joy also included some information on upcoming librarian professional development in the coming months. We also discussed some of the Vermont Department of Libraries Resources regarding the protection of free speech and some of the questions about that related. We also discussed access to the wifi beyond library hours.

Michelle made a motion to approve the consent agenda. Becky seconded the motion. The motion carried.

The board was presented with copies of the draft of the library director job description and the final

draft of the library assistant job description. The board requested time to review the library director job

description prior to discussion. The board reviewed the assistant director position and recommended final edits. Lisa made a motion to accept the job description with the proposed edits. Becky seconded the motion. The motion carried.

b. Budget and Library Priorities Drafts

Lisa distributed updated goals and budget drafts for the board’s review. The board reviewed the updated

goals and asked for additional time to review them. They will be discussed at the next meeting. The board

worked on creating a balanced budget for the library for the FY 19 fiscal year and set $5,950 as their target.

This amount will both support library priorities and protect the reserve fund.

b. Treasurer’s Report

Report submitted through June 30, 2018. Will be confirmed with Nora once all year-end expenses

are finalized.

c. Director’s Report

Joy provided a report on activity in the library in the month of June. Of particular note, the summer

program has been well attended in the last few weeks and two new patrons have been added to the

library. The state park pass has also been used frequently. Joy also presented a list of books ordered over the course of the past month, all within the monthly spending limit of $100 previously set by the board.

Lisa thanked Joy for sharing the new books list on Front Porch Forum, as well as the information about the origami program.

Lisa also suggested that we have a flier available for the summer program here at the library. It could also be posted in other locations around town. Joy agreed and offered to draft one.

Lisa made a motion to accept the consent agenda as presented. Becky seconded the motion.

Alex expressed his thanks to the board members and volunteers who were involved in all aspects of

the sale.

We raised $1,599.19. We had virtually no expenses. This is compared to last year where we raised

$1,149.80 with $458.44 in expenses and the postcard mailing in the prior fiscal year. The decision to

not do the postcard mailing helped to maximize profits. Signs were clearly visible all around town in

advance of the sale.

Better World Books is no longer providing free boxes or free shipping, so we are no longer shipping

books to them.

In terms of display, we wish we had children’s books more visible to children (lower, fanned out on tables).

In terms of set-up, it might be helpful to announce a few book set-up time slots during the week (e.g. 1-3pm on Tuesday or 2-4pm on Thursday) to recruit more volunteers to help with book sorting and display.

One thing that was not ideal was our sale being the same weekend as the Poultney book sale. Additional coordination in advance would be helpful for next year. Traditionally, our sale has been held on the second weekend in July. Poultney changed their date this year.

b. Budget and Library Priorities Drafts

Lisa shared an updated copy of the draft 2018 - 2019.

Alex noted that several items should fall under operating decisions made by the library director/staff.

Some items, like the shed plaque, are already underway.

Opportunity for Tuesday afternoon programming reduce time from regular hours on Wednesdays and Thursdays hours to make some time Tuesday (2:00-4:00pm) for programming focused on older children (3rd - 6th). If students younger than 3rd grade, need adult to accompany them (2:15 - 3:15pm). Will need a volunteer or second adult every week for back-up/bathrooms.

Joy will tell us what the new hours are going to be (within the 14 per week in the current budget) so that we can announce them to patrons.

Joy will share a written summary of her ideas for the program with Lisa to send home with families.

At an upcoming board meeting, Joy will bring data on patron visits over the course of the year and will tell us what hours she thinks would be in the best interest of patrons over the course of the full year, with consideration of the number of hours in the summer and winter vs. the number of patrons.

6. New Business: (Receive Information & Possible Action)

a. On Variety Day we raised $75 in additional book sales. We may want to think about a higher traffic

location for next year. This year the MWA ended up offering free spaces for vendors. If they are free

again next year, we may consider that location instead. The amount of books that we had out seemed like a reasonable amount. It was a fairly simple fundraiser.

Alex made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Becky seconded the motion. We adjourned the meeting

at 8:42pm.

General Public Comment

Old Business

Basket Raffle Wrap-Up

Food sales: Overall, could raise our prices a little bit.

Could charge more for popcorn

Only sold 3-4 cups of coffee (weather dependent)

Lots of people bought sodas from the soda machine

Lemonade & ice tea only sold about 25%.

Bottled water went well. We sold about 30.

Would like to see 50 cents or 3/$1 for baked goods.

Hot dogs could have been $1.50.

Finances: write a check for petty cash in advance. Make a separate deposit with petty cash when it goes back.

Furniture sales - The Telescope items were very generous. Tickets a little high for what we had this year. We will revisit next year to price them accordingly.

Basket sales: would be nice to have a card on each basket that identifies it for announcements (like an index card - could be handwritten). We would need to have the basket prep night earlier in the week if we were going to be able to get those ready.

Timing: if we have it after Memorial Day, there are more people in town. Next year June 1st, for example, would be after Memorial Day but farther in advance of the Book Sale. Lisa will reach out to the MWA to see if we can reserve the main hall.

Intermission: Based on the number of baskets. If we have less than 100 baskets, skip it or keep it to a quick 5 minute bio break.

Joy will talk to Erin and set the hours they will be available and will email the board so we can try to find additional help.

Sale hours:

Friday, July 6th - 9:00am - 4:00pm

Saturday, July 7th - 9:00am - 3:00pm

Mailings: The board decided not to mail postcards as it was so expensive last year to print and mail the postcards. We will all work on getting more posters up this year on our lawns and friends houses.

Media Coverage: Lisa will work on coverage for this. Alex & Joy will get the Facebook event online and add Lisa & Michelle as co-organizers for the event so that we can also promote it. Manchester News Guide will take a picture if someone goes down there with something and has their picture taken. They might also run a picture from last year’s sale.

Pricing for last year was a little low.

Sell bottled water.

Lisa will approach Northshire for a gift certificate again this year.

We will also set out a donation jar.

Follow-up on previous action items from prior meetings.

Thank you, Edgar Corey, for installing the new flag holder for us.

Joy sent a thank you note to Ron & Judy Bremer for doing the garden beds.

Alex will be following up on the sign for the shed that thanks the MWA for their support of the community. The MWA matching funds were received 8/4/16 for building improvement. The board decided to allocate the fund to move and set up the shed. Wording for the plaque: “Thank you to the Modern Woodmen of America for their support.”

Board discussions at that time were reported to include consideration of using that storage.

Automation - We can launch automation as soon as the book sale is over. We need to subscribe to the Library World software. We need to purchase or print barcode labels and new patron cards. We will need to help recruit volunteer coverage for the library so that the library staff can lead the inputting of books into the system.

Library volunteer plan as we move forward: If either Joy or Erin cannot work on a given day, they will send out an email to all Board members and volunteers. Whoever can cover will respond. If we cannot find coverage, we will close for that shift.

Set Next Regular Board Meeting: (Action) (Anticipated May 23, 2018 at WVL, 7:00PM)

The Board reviewed the list of identified locations for asking for gifts and determined who will be approaching each venue this year. Alex will update and distribute this list.

If we think of someone to approach who is not on the list, we will email the rest of the board and let them know so we do not repeat requests.

We reviewed the poster and made the suggestion to amend the address to read VT Route 30 instead of MWA Loop. Alex will print them in color. When we go somewhere to ask for a donation, we will ask them if we can post a flier.

Lisa will take the lead on media outreach this year. We also discussed placing an ad in the Manchester News Guide. Lisa will research advertisement prices and determine what it will take to place one.

Becky was able to secure two director chairs from Telescope.

We discussed pre-selling tickets. We aren’t sure if we can pull that off. It would help to raise profits. If not, we definitely want to have someone at the table to push those tickets.

We discussed items for the kitchen and determined to keep mostly the same items this year and try to get as many donations as possible this year.

Setting regular meeting schedule: We determined to meet on the 4th Wednesday of the month (every month) moving forward. We are also changing the time to 7:00pm. Upcoming meetings are currently scheduled for April 25th and May 23rd. We need to find another meeting day & time for the June 27th meeting, as that date does not work.

Discussion of automation status and plans.

Since we did not have a treasurer’s report, we voted on the items separately.

4. General Public Comments:

None rendered and no action necessary.

5. Old Business:

Book & Bake Sale results and follow-up:

We made a total of $1,149.80 at this event, which is less than the prior year. We forewent the box sale promotion during the last few hours of the event. Instead, we decided to reduce the cost of our books to repurpose and distribute as many books as possible for the duration of the event. We also raffled a $100 gift certificate for the Northshire Bookstore and had a larger assortment of baked goods, which worked out very well. Joy and Lisa will send out thank you notes to those who assisted in the success of this event. Special thank you to the MWA for the donation of the space!

Update on automation solution:

Alex provided the board a status report on the project. Phases of the project were discussed with initial implementation scheduled to begin later this year.

All work has been completed on these projects.

This is an ongoing item. No information was presented at this time.

Update on Summer children’s program:

First session: 7 children.

Second session: Poor weather – 1 child.

Origami event: 7 children and 3 adults.

Internet service upgrade:

This is an ongoing item. No information was presented at this time.

Possible grant opportunities:

We are continuing to gather additional information.

6. New Business:

Align fiscal year with the Town of Wells:

Discussion ensued and it was determined that aligning our fiscal year with the town would eliminate the need for our treasurer and Board to maintain two sets of bookkeeping records. This will streamline our current processes in meeting our reporting and budgetary needs moving forward. Our current fiscal year is January 1 thru December 31; whereas the town is July 1 thru June 30. A motion was made by Michelle that "Beginning retroactively on July 1, 2017, that the Wells Village Library will align their fiscal year with the Town of Wells." This motion was seconded by Becky and the motion passed unanimously. Thus, the prior fiscal year (January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017) will be truncated and the new fiscal year will run from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018. As our treasurer, Lisa will create a year-end report for the January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017 finances, as well as a current year's (July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018) report for the next Board meeting.

Gathering information for the 501(c)3 application:

We will continue to gather information to present at an upcoming meeting.

Approximate start date for automation and the need for volunteers for data entry:

Update provided under old business.

Set dates for next year’s events pending space availability with MWA:

Basket Party – 5/19/18 and possible Book Sale – July 6 & 7, 2018.

Discussion ensued regarding continuing the book sale as a fundraiser.

The board members will generate ideas to present at our next meeting to further enhance this event to make it worthwhile for the effort expended.

7. Policies:

None this month.
